Managed to get this working. Changed my solrconfig for the one provided in
velocity dir, repackaged the war file and redeployed on tomcat.
Although this seems like a ridiculously obvious thing to do, I somehow
overlooked the repackaging aspect, this was where the problem was.
Thanks for the help Erik

Well, you need to specify a path, relative or absolute, that points to the
directory where the Velocity JAR file resides.
I'm not sure, at this point, exactly what you're missing. But it should be
fairly straightforward. Solr startup logs the libraries it loads, so maybe
that is helpful info.
1.4.1 - does it support <lib>? (I'm not sure off the top of my head)
